GALAPAGOS ISLANDS BY LUXURY CRUISE OR LAND

Discover the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands

The Galápagos Islands in Ecuador is one of those rare adventure travel destinations where you become accustomed to being surprised. Nothing quite compares to the joy of observing the unusual and friendly Galapagos animals in the wild here, and the sense of wonder and privilege felt while spending time with creatures that don’t run or fly away when humans approach. The Galápagos Island archipelago is home to many endemic animals, most of which are fearless because of their lack of natural predators. From the world’s only seagoing lizards to flightless cormorants and penguins, flamingos, inflatable frigate birds, wave albatrosses, clownish boobies, patriarchal giant tortoises, and 13 species of Darwin finches, you can enjoy thrilling encounters with many varieties of Galapagos animals—up close and in large numbers—who are completely at ease among human visitors.

Luxury cruise or land-based adventures

On our Galapagos Island adventure travel vacation by luxury yacht, you will have many extraordinary opportunities to swim and go snorkeling with many types of marine mammals such as sea lions, fur seals, dolphins, and manta, eagle, and golden rays, as well as thousands of the 300 species of colorful fish. The more adventurous may relish the chance to snorkel with the friendly Galápagos sharks or even hammerheads and white-tipped reef sharks. Marine turtles and whales are commonplace and simply add to the underwater splendor you will experience. And why travel by Galapagos cruise ship when you can go sail on a luxury yacht? You will also be able to hike among the infamous Galapagos tortoises, lizards and seals and enjoy the tropical nights spent under the equatorial stars in this magical and unique geological and wonderland in Ecuador.
